Sculptures and Carvings

Why the Wood Hacker? Because all the good names were taken! Then again,,, Why not? The end result is always a carving or sculpture but each job starts with more hacking than carving when one is working with stumps, sticks and logs...

My larger carvings are roughed out with chainsaw, and larger blades like draw-knives. Small details, like eyes are often carved using traditional hand tools like gouges, knives, chisels and such.

This light colored carving to the left was carved from hard Maple and is my 6th attempt at carving a wood spirit face. My other work is from various species of wood and includes designs such as wizards, dragons, bears, pigs, etc...

This ain't nothin but a hound dog...
